Reflection:
1. I
chose these three inspirational pieces because I wanted to look at
pieces that weren't the basic self-portrait type. The first piece
Simplon Pass: Reading has more than one person in it, and they
are reading. The next piece shows a little girl sleeping, and the
third is a sculpture of a head. These stood out to me because the
people in them look different than a regular self-portrait.
2. I
chose pencil because my picture was black and white. There was a ton
of shading and I thought that would be easiest to do with pencil.
3. It
ended up being really hard to draw. I'm not a great artist to begin
with, but this was by far the hardest. I couldn't do the shading
very well, and I think the piece looks bad as a whole. I overcame
this by doing the best I could.
4. This
piece shows my face. It's similar to the sculpture I picked for one
of my inspiration pieces.
5. I
applied color, line, variety, and proportion.
6. I
liked doing this project. It made me realize that self-portraits
don't all consist of a person sitting in a specific pose and having
an artist paint them.
7. I
think my final artwork is horrible. It doesn't look like me at all.
